They Probably Are Not PLEASANT as He

NEW YORK, June 3O.-Jacob Sharp sat in large,
easy chair in the wardens office In Ludlow street
jail this morning. He appeared to be in deep

quiet, nevertheless. Mrs sharp sat near him.
Occasionally he would look at his wife pleadingly.

Inc apartment assigned TO Sharp consists OF the
wardens parlor, on the ground noor. 1t has large
window, and, although barbound, admits all the
breeze that Is going. Delicate lace curtains are
draped over a heavy shade, which sOftens the
bright glare OF light. In one corner stands fold
ing-bed, and scattered round the apartment are a
number OF easy chairs couch elegantly uphol,
many little knicEnacS which beSpeak comfort.
When Sharp reached the jail last night he went at
once TO his room, where he was soon joined by his
wife. Meanwhile the warden set about making
things comfortable for his guest until July 13.
He SPENT RESTLESS MIGHT.
At 1890 O'Clock the guest retired for the night.

He was up at 7:30 o'clock and took for breakfast

Sharp did not close her eyes during the long
weary night. and looked sick and fatigued this
morning. She does all she can to keep her grief
concealed from her husband, who speaks but little

or enter the building without his knowledge. One
keeper remained on duty In the office all night and
occupied the room adjoining sharp's with the
door wide open. There was not more than 5 feet
OF space between them. Up TO noon Sharp had no
visitors and up to that time had scarcely spoken
dozen words. The warden scyS he does not eat

Entered ON an Era Of Peace.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 3o.-A special to the
Cburier-Journal from Morehead, KY, states that
there appears to be no foundation whatever for
the rumor that the Tollivers are organizing
and that the people OF Rowan County
feel confident that their long war Is
over and that an cru Of peace and happiness has
at last dawned upon the unfortunate section.
This belief Is founded upon the outpouring OF cit
zens at the meeting yesterday called to organize
a protective association for the UNFOLDING OF the
law.
An article was there drawn up in which every
S1gner pledged himself with his life to protect the
life and property OF the citizens Of Morehead and
OF Rowan County. This was signed by all Of the

SURPLUS EFFECTED 10 AMOUNT FROM $50. 900 600
10 $4,000, 900 ~ DECEMBER
This was busy day at the Treasury Depart
ment Il was the last OF the fiscal year, and they
were balancing their books and rounding up their
record preparatory TO beginning new year to-
morrow. Everybody was busy, and many clerks
were anxious. On account OF changes In the ap-
preparation bill . number OF employees have 10 be
dropped which causes a little furry OF excite
mene In the appointment division the clerks
were making out the lists OF changes and adjust
ing the force TO the new bill
In the Treasurers once they were closing out
Old books and bringing the balances over. The
receipts this year have been largely IN excess Of
those for last year, ana the new year opens with
the prospect OF large accumulation OF surplus
each month, with the slight Offset OF $4,000 600
OF per cent bonds 10 be redeemed July 1,
$l2,000, GOO about, for pensions and slightly In.
creased appropriations AT best, the surplus
must accumulate very rapidly between now and
December, unless the Secretary resorts to unusual
means Of putting out the money. An increase in
the surplus OF between $50 0O0 900 and $50 600 0ol
BY December Is not IN extrayagant estimate.
